Did the @nytimes.com really quote the mf-ing communications director of the Houston YOUNG REPUBLICANS as if he were just some random young Black person who likes Trump? Cause it sure looks like it.

I am going to give @thedailybeast.bsky.social a provocative gesture that resembled the controversial salute Johnny Cash gave at San Quentin in 1969.

Again I am begging people in the media to note the legality of these actions in their headlines or blurbs. A post office is literally written into the constitution.

If you’re wondering why I declined to talk to the NYTimes, then you haven’t been following my account for very long. They bear a direct responsibility for the current situation we find ourselves in, and I responded by laying out my position and that I would only talk to @jamellebouie.net

Most people probably aren’t tracking this but Senate Republicans just started an all-night voting marathon that will allow them to gut Medicaid and increase child hunger while giving handouts to billionaires like Elon Musk.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk are messing with your Medicare benefits. Democrats passed a law to finally let Medicare negotiate with Big Pharma for lower prices. Now Trump and Musk laid off the negotiators. That means higher drug costs for you. Nothing efficient about that.

One problem with the evilness in the news is that it makes you sound crazy if you try describe some of what’s going on… things like Elon Musk posting 14 American flags at 2:14 as code, mentioning it sounds freaking nutty but it’s clearly intentional

If you want to understand why Peter Baker is the way he is, you need to know that he believes reporters must think as little as possible about the subjects they cover. He's elevated willful, self-satisfied stupidity into his profession's highest virtue.

I’m having conversations like this every day with people who seem to think there’s some kind of emergency brake that’s gonna kick in (or worse, people who aren’t paying attention). They keep saying “I have to hope” and I say “Hope is an axe,” per @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social

I do think it’s likely that the White House wants to drive all the reputable news orgs out of their press briefings and fill them with their bootlicking propagandist lackeys, and indeed a press walkout might speed up this process. But so what? What are you learning from them standing there lying?

A public State Department procurement document for fiscal year 2025 listed the purchase for $400 million. It comes as ethics experts raise conflict of interest questions about Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who is a top White House official.

Ford Motor CEO Jim Farley says Trump's proposed tariffs on Canada and Mexico would devastate the U.S. auto industry. "A 25% tariff across the Mexico and Canadian border will blow a hole in the U.S. industry that we have never seen."

AP's still banned and the rest of the White House press corps leaves them hanging. I honestly don't get it. Didn't they all rally around Fox News a couple years ago?

Thousands of investors in Trump’s crypto scheme lost $2 billion in just weeks while the Trump Organization racked up $100 million in trading fees. Just so happens that the CFPB, which Trump is trying to kill, recently announced new regulations for the crypto industry. Hello?

What’s funny about this is not just that it’s Musk’s own AI, but that the description of the problem is so much starker and more alarming than what our prestige writers can conjure

Hi all, We’re still here at OPM. We have a situation where we MIGHT, and I do mean, MIGHT have four of Elon’s people blocked from the building. Can we get press or a member of Congress down here? We’ve blocked them for two hours and they keep coming back and trying to go in.

A Ketamine-fueled psychopathic goober has complete control over all of our nation’s money. All your tax dollars. The social security money that you earned and paid in, so that you can have it back. The money for clean air, food, & water. The money for medical cures, highways, and safe air travel…

Reposting with alt text. When you call your reps, urge them to take inspiration from this and delay every single Trump thing in Congress, as a start.

in addition to musk stealing the data for his own purposes, I imagine that they think they can simply shut off payments to whoever doesn’t comply. I would not be shocked if they tried to turn off Social Security for an entire state of course that’s dissolution of the union territory.
